Talk proposal: How to use Rust with Python

[nth10sd]

About the talk

• Title: How to use Rust with Python
• Description: Python is arguably the world's most popular programming language, though it has shortcomings that other languages (C/C++) stay ahead of. Rust has appeared as a C/C++ competitor - being among the world's fastest growing languages, it has been rated the most "loved" language on Stack Overflow for 7 years.

Here, I will demonstrate how to use nascent free/open source technologies (maturin/PyO3) to combine both Python and Rust. Want to fuse the best of AI deep learning Python packages with the power of Rust? Sure! Leverage the best of both worlds (PyPI/crates.io) writing as much or as little Rust as you want with your Python.

• Duration (approx.): 45 mins, demo included
